Alce Nero Compote / Fruit Spread

Alce Nero is a pioneering Italian brand founded in 1978, specializing in organic food products. The brand originated from the union of two cooperatives: the Cooperativa Alce Nero, founded by Gino Girolomoni, and the Cooperativa Cento Fiori (later Mielizia), led by Lucio Cavazzoni. It is a symbol of organic farming in Italy and is known for its commitment to biodiversity and ethical production methods.

The product is manufactured in Italy, specifically in the region of Emilia-Romagna, where the company's headquarters and main production facilities are located. The brand is strictly controlled by its cooperative members who oversee the entire supply chain from field to shelf.

Currently, Alce Nero S.p.A. is owned by a group of organic producers and processors. Its ultimate ownership is shared among several entities, primarily the Consorzio Libera Terra Mediterraneo, Cooperativa Mielizia (Conapi), and the firm La Cesenate. This structure ensures that the brand remains independent and committed to its original organic and fair-trade principles.
